From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, first responders can receive one free lunch at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Desert Canyon (9175 W Oquendo Road), Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Henderson (10301 Jeffreys St.) and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Las Vegas (1250 S.

Oral surgeon offers free wisdom tooth extraction

A Las Vegas oral surgeon is launching a program to provide one higher education student in Las Vegas with a free wisdom tooth extraction.

The Wisdom for Wisdom program was started in light of the economic hardships that many families are experiencing in light of the COVID-19 crisis.

“The doctors wanted to give back to local students, now more than ever with the financial crisis,” said Sara Neumann, spokeswoman for Canyon Oral & Facial Surgery. “They hope to offset some college costs.”

Interested college students can apply at canyonofs.com/wisdom until Thursday.
